The Pillars of Dawn Series
The clock is ticking down to the end of the great cycle, the Great Convergence, when Mnemosyne’s Curse will fall upon all her worlds.
What would happen to the world if 7 billion people were struck with Alzheimer’s disease overnight? This is Mnemosyne’s Curse, the loss of memory, culture, and reason. Everything we thought we knew, gone in a blink. Unable to piece together memories, unable to build anything new. Civilization would topple into a new Dark Age, then into oblivion.
All the pillars of culture lost, all remnants of what make us human, forgotten. Fields would fall fallow, buildings crumble in disrepair, technology would decline, history would be lost, relationships unthreaded, music an ethereal question, science would become a mystery. The memory of how we built our empires…missing.
A cosmic oubliette. Permanent darkness.
All that stands between the three worlds and Mnemosyne’s Curse are her daughters, the Muses, reborn to save us from the loss of all creativity. They are the pillars of dawn.
But are we worth saving?
